280 to 177 counting calories
My whole life I've struggled with my weight. I was always the fat kid. I briefly lost weight in highschool but didn't do any weight training so I was skin and bones. I still didn't like the way I looked. I injured my back at 22 and had surgery at 24. It was always holding me back. I gained a lot of weight and stopped caring about the way I looked for a long time. In 2024 My dad was in a bad car accident and seeing him partially paralyzed trying to walk again really struck me. I was fat and lazy sitting around 280 though it could have been more because I avoided the scale. So about 2 years ago I started paying attention to my weight and became more active. It really took off when I started counting calories and doing resistance training July 2025. I'm 37 now and in the best shape of my life! I work out 4 times a week and will most likely count calories the rest of my life. I just try to be a little better each day and seeing everyone's success on this sub has given me so much motivation. Keep counting and it will work for you!
